Geometrical Representation of a Complex Number

If z 1, z 2, ...

Question

If $z_{1}, z_{2}, z_{3}$ be the vertices of an rightangled isosceles triangle and which is right angled at $z_{2}$ then $z_{1}^{2} + z_{3}^{2} + 2 z_{2}^{2} = k z_{2} (z_{1} + z_{3})$ where $k =$

Solution

From above diagram $| z_{1} - z_{2} | = | z_{3} - z_{2} | = r$
Now using the rotation of point $A (z_{1})$ about point $B (z_{2})$ will be come $C (z_{3})$
Hence $z_{3} - z_{2} = e^{i π / 2} (z_{1} - z_{2}) = i z_{1} - i z_{2}$
$\Rightarrow z_{3}^{2} + z_{2}^{3} - 2 z_{2} z_{3} = - z_{1}^{2} - z_{2}^{2} + 2 z_{1} z_{2} \Rightarrow z_{1}^{2} + z_{3}^{2} + 2 z_{2}^{2} = 2 z_{2} (z_{1} + z_{3})$
$∴ k = 2$
